Hysteresis in Two Sands and the Independent Domain Model
Hysteresis in the relations between moisture content, potential, and conductivity was measured on two sands, one fine grained and the other coarse and angular grained. Hydraulic...
Studies in the physical properties of soil. V. The hysteresis effect in capillary properties, and the modes of moisture distribution associated therewith
A recapitulation of the main features of the moisture distribution in an ideal soil is given in order to emphasise a point previously neglected, namely, that the changes are not...
Soil Water Hysteresis in Silt Loam and Clay Loam Soils
The microhydrologic properties involving water content, pressure head, and hydraulic conductivity were measured simultaneously for a silt loam and for a clay loam soil. Large hy...
Soil‐Water Hysteresis Measured in a Sandy Loam and Compared with the Hysteretic Domain Model
Abstract A uniformly packed column of sandy loam soil was subjected to a controlled series of wetting and drying changes. Soil water contents were obtained from gamma ray attenu...
Factors Important in the Calculation of Hydraulic Conductivity
Abstract The calculation of hydraulic conductivity by a modified Millington‐Quirk method with a matching factor gave conductivity values closely approximating experimentally mea...
